Abstract 112: Non-response Bias in Patient Reported Outcomes Research for Breast Reconstruction: Lessons from a Multi-institutional Prospective Cohort Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE: Survey-based research has emerged as a primary method of evaluating the impact and outcomes of breast reconstruction in an era of patient centered care. Despite increased utilization of patient reported outcomes measures, such as the BREAST-Q surveys, there are few studies assessing non-response among study participants. Differential non-response to surveys threatens the generalizability and validity of studies evaluating patient reported outcomes. The objectives of this study were to identify independent variables associated with non-response to surveys following breast reconstruction to aid in the design and improvement of future patient-reported outcomes research.

متن کاملAbstract: Sexual Well-Being After Breast Cancer Surgery and Breast Reconstruction: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis
METHODS: This multi-center cross-sectional survey study included women who had been randomly selected from a 10-year cohort and who had previously undergone a mastectomy for breast cancer either followed by an autologous-BR, an implantBR or who had not undergone BR. These women were asked to complete the reconstruction module of the Breast-Q, the EORTC-C30 and EORTCBR23 quality of life question...
